• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MLT602 - Worklist run is active or scheduled (in the next &1 seconds) ?

  The SAP error message MLT602 indicates that a worklist run is currently active or scheduled to start shortly. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Multi-Level Task (MLT) processing, where certain tasks or processes are queued for execution.
  Cause:
  
  Active Worklist Run: A worklist run is already in progress, which means that the system is currently processing tasks and cannot start a new run until the current one is completed.
  Scheduled Worklist Run: A worklist run is scheduled to start within a short time frame (as indicated by the message, e.g., "in the next &1 seconds"), which prevents the initiation of another run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: If a worklist run is currently active, you may need to wait for it to complete. You can monitor the status of the worklist run in the relevant transaction or monitoring tool.
  Check Scheduled Jobs: If a worklist run is scheduled, check the job scheduling in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if the job is indeed scheduled and when it is expected to start.
  Cancel or Reschedule: If necessary, you can cancel the scheduled job if it is not needed or if it is causing issues. This can also be done in transaction SM37.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the worklist run is taking longer than expected or if there are any issues with the tasks being processed.
  System Performance: Ensure that the system is performing optimally. Sometimes, performance issues can cause delays in processing worklist runs.
